Muhammed Akbulut is a pragmatic cybersecurity and software engineering leader with 11+ years of professional experience and 15+ years of hands-on development and teaching in the Netherlands. As co-owner of FidelSec he helps SMBs, non-profits and government bodies turn regulatory complexity (NIS2, AVG, ISO 27001) into practical, auditable security programs using a lean five-step approach. Concurrent technical leadership roles — from software architect and Lead QA to Security Officer — give him the depth to question vendors, design secure architectures, and embed quality at scale. He combines strong backend expertise (PHP, Python, Postgres, Elastic, Google Cloud) with an educator’s knack for translating risk into clear actions for directors and IT teams. Not obvious from the title: he’s taught cybersecurity at university level and routinely runs rapid risk scans that pinpoint priorities within a week. Based in Rotterdam, he blends entrepreneurial drive with a long track record of shipping secure, maintainable systems.
